Scored 420 on the Official GMAT Practise Test, what's next ?

You need to first think whether on-demand video courses will suit to your requirement or not.

It seems that you are way OFF your target score mark and you have a regular job in which you might lack the motivation to regularly study and make incremental progress. Students in such situation find a group of likemindeed buddies or a tutor to push you in right direction. You need to decide your requirement and your limitations before making any purchase else it will just go in vain.

My recommendation will be that you should take some sunbscription in free trial phase and see where you stand. At the same time consider taking some demo sessions to assess teh difference that methodologies make and then take your final decision.

We have a classic video course for quant on our website which you can check on www.GMATinsight.com in pricing tab

Also we give a free demo session which you can take either on quant or on verbal to see the effect that a sessions makes.

Let me know if interested.

all the best!

1) I haven't started studying yet, this mock test was given with no preparation at all, to have a lower-limit benchmark. I wanted to start but got confused with the plethora of options available. I am fine with using around 2-3 sources for my learning, although the lesser the better. As I am also having ADHD, more content almost never helps.
2) I am planning to apply September onwards to the top B-Schools in US, UK, and Europe, while also having 1-2 backup schools just in case. As I am already having a stable career, I am okay spending more time as long as I get into the top schools.

Hi proxyshy,

I've sent you a PM with some notes and additional questions.

Hi proxyshy,

The key to score well on GMAT is to do the prep in the right way. A lot of students do not do that properly and as a result struggle with the prep. You can go through this article to understand the right way to strategize your prep.



And I would suggest you to spend some time in analyzing the free trials of the online courses. Do a proper research, know in an out of them and choose the one which suits you the most. Having said that, there are a few parameters which you should keep in mind while evaluating the courses. You can go through this article to understand a few key factors that you should keep in mind while evaluating the online courses.

Having said that, as you are a working professional, you would want to choose an online course which can help you with a study plan. Because if you are clear of what to study on any given day, it makes life easier for you. But a person who can spend 4 hours a day for studies cannot have the same study plan as a person who can spend just 2 hours a day. So, the study plan has to be personalized, that is, the study plan has to be according to the number of hours one can dedicate for studies. So, I would suggest you to check out the free trial of GMATWhiz and the personalized study plan it provides. And if you wish to have a detailed discussion regarding the study strategy, you can get in touch with me using the below link.
